CLUB HEADS WITH VARYING IMPACT RESPONSES AND RELATED METHODS
Some embodiments include a golf club head. The golf club head includes a front body having a front body front portion with a front body front surface and having a front body rear portion, and includes a rear body having a rear body front portion, a rear body rear portion, and multiple protrusions. The golf club head is configured such that (i) when the front body front surface strikes a golf ball with a first amount of force, the front body deflects toward the rear body with a first amount of deflection, and (ii) when the front body front surface strikes the golf ball with a second amount of force less than the first amount of force, the front body deflects toward the rear body with a second amount of deflection greater than the first amount of deflection. Other embodiments of related club heads and methods are also disclosed.
GOLF CLUB HEADS WITH TURBULATORS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS WITH TURBULATORS
Embodiments of golf club heads with turbulators and methods to manufacture golf club heads with turbulators are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
Support structures for golf club heads and methods of manufacturing improved support structures
A golf club head, preferably a putter head, comprising at least one structural support member is disclosed herein. The structural support member has a smooth, organic-looking aesthetic, with a continuously changing curvature along its spline and at least one surface, and preferably connects one portion of the golf club head to another portion. Where the support member connects to other portions of the golf club head, the surfaces of the member have a curvature that changes smoothly and continuously, lacking any sharp corners. The support member may be part of a lattice structure formed via binder jetting.
GOLF CLUB HEADS AND METHODS TO MANUFACTURE GOLF CLUB HEADS
Embodiments of golf club heads and methods to manufacture golf club heads are generally described herein. In one example, a golf club head may include a body portion having a first body portion piece with a first port, and a second body portion piece removably coupled to the first body portion piece and having a second port. The first body portion piece may be at least partially filled with a polymer material. The golf club head may also include a mass portion having a fastening portion. The first and second ports are configured to be axially aligned. The second port is configured to receive the mass portion to close the second port, and the fastening portion of the mass portion is configured to engage the first port to fasten the second body portion piece to the first body portion piece. Other examples and embodiments may be described and claimed.
Golf club heads
Some disclosed golf club heads include body having at least one raised sole portion and a cantilevered ledge extending down around a perimeter of the club head below the level of the raised sole portion. Some disclosed golf club heads include one or more sole openings in the body and a sole insert that is mounted inside the body over the sole openings. The sole can include weight tracks as well, and a rear weight track can extend between a toe side sole opening and a heel side sole opening. A crown insert can also be included that is mounted over an upper opening in the body.
Golf club heads with hosel inserts and related methods
Embodiments of golf coupling mechanisms are presented herein. Other examples and related methods are also disclosed herein.
Iron-type golf club head
An iron-type golf club incorporating an aperture extending through the shell on the sole. The location and size of the aperture selectively increase deflection of the face.
Golf club
A golf club head includes a golf club body including a crown, a sole, and a skirt connected between the crown and the sole, the golf club body including a front including a leading edge and a back including a trailing edge, and a hosel connected to the golf club body; a face connected to the front of the golf club body, the face including a geometric center, the golf club head including modifiable boundary conditions.
Weighted iron set
The present invention is direct to a set of golf clubs comprising long irons, mid-irons and short irons. The invention contemplates the use of titanium or steel for the main body portion and a tungsten weight member coupled to the toe and a tungsten heel weight member coupled in a hosel cavity.
GOLF CLUB HEAD
A state of a golf club head placed such that a shaft axis line is vertical to a horizontal plane and a normal line is parallel to a first perpendicular plane on which the shaft axis line lies is defined as a 0-degree state. A direction parallel to the first perpendicular plane and parallel to the horizontal plane is defined as a projection direction. A projected area of the head projected in the projection direction when the head is rotated by θ°about the shaft axis line toward a back side from the 0-degree state is denoted by WAθ. WAθ is divided by the shaft axis line into a first region (having an area denoted by Afθ) and a second region (having an area denoted by Abθ), and a difference (Afθ-Abθ) is denoted by Sθ. S90 is -4500 (mm.sup.2) or less. S15 is 4700 (mm.sup.2) or less.
